this one’s for you…a glimpse of the morning garden

and especially for Judy.  faith, family, and persistence are her constant companions-plus a needle, thread, and some cloth.

it rained!!  and one of my favorite things is to walk around the garden the morning after. here is only some of what i saw…

i had hopes…the drought apricots are falling …

the garden maiden is probably a matron by now- she had been surveying the garden for quite some time. a long-ago gift…

the dwarf holiday avocado seems like it might rebound!

i spied her on the underside of the blue agave. it always pays to look at things from different angles!

evidence! possum? raccoon? squirrel? rat?

picking more today- and spreading the wealth around the neighborhood…

a beauty down under-the matchstick plant bloom was hiding under the ever expanding brugmansia

never to be tamed-the brugmansia marches on scenting the garden

hello old friend!

the milkweed aphids are being farmed by a expanding family of ladybugs. they were shy to the camera.

but got one resting in the crevices-burp!

and the cake is gone! was delicious and enjoyed by all!

also gone as well are the natural dyed fabrics i loaded into the shop yesterday- many thanks! the last payment on my little health interruption last Dec. will be paid off! took the whole year but DONE!! where would i be without you?

the shop will stay open for ribbon buyers only through Wednesday.

plus the squirrelleys say hello!

hello!
